Pad Cutters - love 'Em Or Ignore 'Em: Many farriers will never own pad cutters, while others swear by this seldom-seen tool for its time-saving and profit-building benefits

摘要

Pad cutters would probably appear far down the list of essential tools for most farriers. In truth, pad cutters are seen on so few rigs that newcomers to the business might not even recognize the bench-mounted, crank-operated devices, which resemble a heavy-duty caulking gun and operate much like a kitchen can opener. The cutting is done by two blades, a cutter and a feeder, at the end of the barrel opposite the crank. The device cuts both leather and plastic pads, but not metal.
